at this stage I think Live7 is the more flexible and tweekable from all I,ve tryed and worked on already. logic, cubase, fl...

Live7 really hammered my head with so much flexibility and options to start producing well sounding weirdness. a lot drag and drop and a lot intuitive tools that one never imagined that can have into a daw. by the way hey ppl did you know that the main programer f Live7 is a formerprogramer and indeologist of the REAKTOR!! this out of the world all-in-one vst Platform!!! I understood now why Live has those great grain stretching effects...

But the Monster of the Monsters is Logic8 pro. this is somethig for most elevated expectations.. what a plugs! waht inside chains and routing!!! sidechain? wow logic8 is the King!!!! it sounds really diferent from anything else.

and best new is that nowaday one can install the latests Mac OS on Intel based PCS and it runs smooth as silk. naaaaahhh!!!! tooo muuuch!!! ehehehehe

I know the fate of buzz, however there have been many new projects that for some reason had parts of buzz' source code and are now evolving into better projects (like Buze).

However i think with ableton my bet has become a lot more certain cause i really don't feel like switching from platform again. :(

The issues i had with buzz was that after hours of producing it would just become unstable or slow (especially back in the days when hardware wasn't as fast), this was also caused by unstable machines and crashing vst's of course, however i think a vst host should be so stable that a crashing vst doesn't crash your whole platform, which did happen in many cases with buzz unfortunately.

ableton and reason....i probably could use only one but i love thor and recording samples from reason to ableton works awsome so i have no need to learn other synths...it took me quite a while to larn thor
